A spiritual, artistic, metamorphosis in other words" "Per Svensson is one of the leading visual and sound artists from Sweden"/ Thomas Millroth, Art critic, Art Historian

"Per Svensson's paintings stand in a tradition of political painting but with a kick-ass attitude that often is absent in art" / Håkan Nilsson, Art critic, DN
